Submitted by sleepless (Canada), Jun 13, 2013 at 20:59
what truth???
your truth or our truth ???
what if your truth is the anti-truth??? - and there is a lot of evidence that your truth is questionable!!!!
think again, Muslims believe in the truth of God, Quran, Muhammad and the idiology of Islam for 1500 years you cannot, and could not erased as much as you try.
try to search the truth away from your truth - you will find THE TRUTH
